Just back from Saskatoon.
While there I was reminiscing about Mom's awesome Saskatoon Berry Pies back in the day.
Decided I should try and grow a couple of the bushes out here, so found some at a local nursery, one "Smokey" and one "Thiessen":
Went and collected a bit of 4" sewage pipe and cut it to just over 2 feet.
Stuffed the plants inside of those:
And they fit perfectly in my checked in luggage for the flight home.
Gathered up some overly large pots when back home, and put the plants into their new temporary home:
Temporary in that the question of where to put them has to be settled between me & She Who Rules (focusing on just which of her ornamental plants will have to go... Wish me Luck! LOL!)
Hoping they take off here, and think they likely will.
Looking forward to our first taste of Saskatoon Berry Pie!
Cheers,
Nog
